hey guys - check this out:
http://qmweb.cdmiweb.com/qmv/dynw-search-api.htm
this is:
1) apache server
2) proxy to coyote web server
3) coyote web page calling QM/BASIC subroutine
4) subroutine calls coyote RPC object (available in commercial QM)
5) RPC queries mvBASE database
6) returns real time data (ie: only titles with ISBN and with QTY >
whatever you input in the box next to the GO button)
7) takes the top 10
8) executes cURL to Amazon which returns an XML response
9) parses thru the XML response
10) builds the HTML code on the fly
11) returns the results to your browser
ALL within a few seconds
hey - and it WORKS!
too much fun ...

Nice work.
The web page description says the application looks for words in the
book's title, but it also appears to be examining the author name as
well. Type in "Jones" for instance.

remember if you could search on ISBN before, but it's a nice addition.
If this web page is more than just a demonstration, then I think it
might be nice if you gave the user the option to search on specific
fields. Perhaps a simple drop-down list to allow searching on Title,
Author, ISBN, or All fields.
